Thanks again to the wonderful Mr. John Medd for providing this week's Snapshots link... songs with words that relate to buses. Or, as John put it, "these artists have all recorded songs where one word in the title can suffix the word 'Bus'."
Did you catch them all?
15. The process of transferring certain residents' belongings from Number 15 to Number 9.

Thanks for the opportunity, Rol. But I couldn’t do your job. It’s like teaching delinquent 5th formers. And as for that Goggins in 5C, he’s out of control.
ReplyDeleteI blame the parents.

So it wasn't Bus Sussudio after all? This has thrown me completely
ReplyDeleteThanks John and Rol
Sussudiio was a Collins solo track, not Genesis. So there.
DeleteExcellent, sorry I was late for the bulk of it yesterday (I missed the bus) but it was definitely a fiendish one, John - thank you. I would never have got it -need to screw in my 'Only Connect' brain a little tighter!
